## The Attempt at a Solution

Mod note: Added code tags
C:
static void Main(string[] args)
{

double dblHrsWorked = 0;
double dblHrlyRate = 0;
double grossWageBan = 0;
double grossWageChi = 0;

Console.Write("Please enter the hours worked: ");

Console.WriteLine("Please enter the hourly rate($): "); dblHrlyRate = double.Parse(Console.ReadLine()); Console.WriteLine("You make a total of " + (GrossWage(dblHrsWorked, dblHrlyRate)) + " dollars."); Console.WriteLine("People in the following countries make this amount of money: Bangladesh: " + (GrossWageBangladesh(grossWageBan)) + " dollars, China: " + (GrossWageChina(grossWageChi)) +" dollars."); Console.ReadKey(); } static double GrossWage (double hours, double rate) { double dblGrossWage = 0; if (hours > 40) { dblGrossWage = 40 * rate; dblGrossWage = dblGrossWage + ((hours - 40) * (rate * 1.5)); } else { dblGrossWage = hours * rate; } return dblGrossWage; } static double GrossWageBangladesh (double hours) { double dblBanGrossWage = 0; dblBanGrossWage = hours * 0.15; return dblBanGrossWage; } static double GrossWageChina(double hours) { double dblChinaGrossWage = 0; dblChinaGrossWage = hours * 0.48; return dblChinaGrossWage; } } } I can't seem to figure out why the countries are not working can someone please Help me figure it out! ## Answers and Replies Mark44 Mentor ## Homework Statement Have to write a program that outputs the users gross wage.

if (hours > 40)
{

dblGrossWage = dblGrossWage + ((hours - 40) * (rate * 1.5));

}

else
{

}

return dblGrossWage;

}

static double GrossWageBangladesh (double hours)
{

double dblBanGrossWage = 0;

dblBanGrossWage = hours * 0.15;

}

static double GrossWageChina(double hours)
{

double dblChinaGrossWage = 0;

dblChinaGrossWage = hours * 0.48;

return dblChinaGrossWage;

}

}
}

I can't seem to figure out why the countries are not working can someone please Help me figure it out!
When you call your GrossWageBan() and GrossWageChi() methods, you are passing a value of 0 for hours to each method. You should be passing the number of hours in the calls to these methods, not grossWageBan and grossWageChi. These two variables are initialized to zero.
